Hab. West Coast New Holland. 



I received this insect years ago from Dr. Rayner, R.N., who 

 had taken it, I believe, some where on the West Coast. The 

 specimen is a female, and I think it not at all improbable that it 

 may turn out to be a Psalidura ; at all events it does not seem 

 to be at home among the present group. The rostrum is very 

 short and broad, and resembles in sculpture that of Psalidura 

 impressa. The elytra are remarkably thickly covered with small 

 setigerous granules, excepting in the strijB, where there is only 

 a single line of them.

 latis altcrnis confertius granulis setis nigris instructis 

 apice mucronatis.
